Good for you owning up to your responsibilities but there
may come a time when even your parents need professional
care. When that time comes you will realize the meaning of
depressing. I know, I've been there. It's not like with a
young person who can recover. It is a continued downhill
slide that cannot be reversed and it's depressing as hell.

I care for my elderly parents..... It's not depressing at all. My Dad and I
have long talks and go fishing together. I spend a lot of time helping my
Mom....... I take her to shop, to her Doctor's appointments, and drive her
to visit her friends when she's feeling too tired to drive herself. I clean
the house and cook most meals, handle the taxes and bills, do all the yard
work and tend the animals. I love having the chance to spend time with them
in their Golden Years.
